On last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson reprised his roll as “The Rock Obama,” a parody of the Hulk who deals with Republicans in ways mild-mannered President Barack Obama would like to — but never can.

The president is listening to House Majority Leader John Boehner (R), freshman Senator Tom Cotton (R), and GOP presidential long shot Ted Cruz.

“We need to show a united front,” the president said in response to the recent actions of the three Republicans — which included inviting the Israeli prime minister to speak before Congress, sending a letter to Iranian leaders, and being Ted Cruz.

“Not to be rude,” Rep. Boehner began, “but the only reason I invited Prime Minister Netanyahu was because I wanted to meet a world leader whose people actually respected him.”

As the president grew increasingly angry, Sen. Cruz chimed in that he’s “impressed [Netanyahu] even came to visit — considering how much you botched the situation in the Middle East.”

When Sen. Cotton added, “I’ve been in Washington three months, and I think I understand foreign policy better than you,” the president couldn’t take it anymore and transformed into “The Rock Obama.”
